Leopards@taddy

This week, the Leopards have been busy making their own Christmas decorations to take home! They wrote their own personal messages on a piece of shrink dink plastic and watched the magic happen as they were placed in the oven 🤩

 This afternoon, to calm our minds the Leopards did some partner yoga. Partner yoga enables us to increase trust and communication. It improves our focus and self awareness and of course reduces our stress and anxiety. 

This morning, the children (and Mrs Limer) entered the classroom and had to decide how they were feeling.  They chose a coloured tear that matched their emotion and placed it in the jar.

Today the Leopards have been introduced to their new book ‘The Tear Thief’.  The children entered the classroom to find a jar filled with multicoloured tear drops labelled ‘Tear Collection’  We discussed reasons as to why we might cry, whether we cry when we are sad or happy. We examined the different colours and discussed that each colour could represent a different emotion.  The children then worked in groups to decide which coloured ‘tear’ best represents an emotion. They then created noun phrases to label each group. For example: tears of rage, tears of pure joy. Once we had completed this task, we worked independently and recorded our own sentences explaining why they decided a certain colour best represented a certain emotion. For example: tears of rage are red because they are boiling hot.
